This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

cephalothorax,

Welcome back.  Let's see, you wrote: "Wolfe's women do seem to have a
kind of limited repertoire: the Stand-In for Divine Love, the Sex
Object, and Agent of Destruction."  Since I don't want to put words
in your screen, please expand a little on this by first identifying
which one of the three types goes to each of the following:

Agia
Dorcas
Foila (armigette)
Jolenta
Juturna
Kypris
Maytera Marble
Maytera Mint
Morwenna
Orchid
Maytera Rose

Second, please enumerate the types available to Wolfe's men, so that
we may compare and constrast these two sets (assuming that they
aren't the same).

Thanks in advance!
